Heinz Chapel Choir, December 2010

Joe, Tina, Don, and I attended the Heinz Chapel Choir's Music of the 2010 Holiday Season this past Thursday before choir practice.

I dutifully noted that Katie from choir was assigned a solo (sadly, on a different date than our attendance).

The prelude on "in Dulci jubilo" by Buxtehude was played by Steve Anisko.

The choir then sang
O Come, O Come, Emmanuel
Caritas et Amor (R. Stroope)
Bogoroditse Devo, Raduisya, a Russian piece by Rachmaninoff
Fall Softly, Snow (Daniel Moe)

The audience then joined them for
O Come All Ye Faithful

Followed by an organ interlude
Chant du Berger (G. Merkel)

The choir then sang
O Blessed Light, a commissioned piece by Robert Schulz
Hymn to the Virgin (B. Britten)
The Lamb (J. Tavener)
BAT, Jeannette, Isabella
Winter Madrigal

The audience then joined them for
What Child is This

The choir then sang
Lulajze, Jusuniu, a Polish Lullaby to Jesus
Festival Deck the Hall
When You Believe (Hollywood)
Fanfare Noel (S. Wright)
Winter Wonderland
Santa Claus is Back in Town (Elvis) , and Eric Weaver (soloist) played it for all it's worth!
Wasn't that a Mighty Day (Spiritual)

The audience then joined them for
Deck the Halls

The afternoon concert concluded by a postlude on "In dir ist Freude" by Bach.
